my nutritionist told me 800, once I started working out I could increase to 1000-1200. It has a lot to do with your starting weight though. You have to be careful not put your body is starvation mode.

Have you met with a nutritionist? If not, I strongly suggest you do so. They will help you set up guidelines for food to fit your body needs and lifestyle.

Unfortunately none of us can tell you how many calories to consume because every surgeon is different and has a different protocol to follow. Most people consume between 800-1200 a day.

One more note: Please don't expect to have good restriction after your first fill. It is possible however it's very rare. Normally it takes people multiple fills before they have good restriction, and until they do, you have to just do your best to stick to band sized portions and make good food choices.

Best wishes.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
